The DES-1026G is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to enhance workgroup performance while providing a high level of flexibility. It provides 24 10/100Mbps ports for workstation connection, plus 2 copper Gigabit ports for server deployment, allowing a workgroup to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands.

24 10/100Mbps Ports for Workstation ConnectionThe switch comes with 24 10/100Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly integrate to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. These intelligent ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, as well as between full and half-duplex.

Flow Control for Secure TransmissionAll ports support flow control. This function minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full.

Auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX Cross OverAll ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX cross over. This eliminates the need for cross over cables or uplink ports. Any port can simply plug to a workstation, a server, a hub or a switch, using the usual straight-through twisted-pair cable.

Plug-and-PlayWith 26 plug-and-play ports, the switch is a perfect choice for workgroups to upgrade performance in a client/server environment. The ports can be connected to workstations and servers in full-duplex, or hubs in half-duplex.
